Render a caller-computed burn

well_render_burn
Read-only

Put a burn figure YOU computed onto the burn card.

This tool measures nothing. It takes the figure and its method as input and returns them for rendering. Call it only after you have computed the burn yourself and can state every field below from your own work — never to "get" a burn.

The server derives no burn of its own. The figure on the card is the one you state here, which is why every field below is required: the policy behind a number is the only thing that makes it checkable.

Under the number the card draws nothing. It carries the figure, the window it averages and the trend chip; everything else you state below is REQUIRED and reaches no pixel. All of it comes back to you in this tool's text result, which is what you write the prose from. The card is the measure; the explanation is yours.

REQUIRED, because a figure whose method is not stated cannot be checked:

  • amount — the outflow per month, as a POSITIVE magnitude in currency

  • window — the months the average divides by, not the months that carried spend

  • convention — "signed", and the counts you elected it from

  • months_in_window and months_with_data — a window with dark months reports LOWER than its typical month. When the two differ you MUST say so in prose: how many months recorded an outflow, and that the average still divides by the whole window

  • excluded — what fell out, in named groups. internal_transfers is the sum's excluded_multi_leg; send null when the sum could not count it

  • transaction_count and unplaceable_count — how much of the window could be placed inside or outside the transfer rule at all. unplaceable_count is the sum's excluded_no_owned_leg. Send null when the sum could not count it. Never send 0 for that, because zero says every row was placed

REFUSED rather than rendered:

  • a negative amount — a burn is a magnitude; a negative one means a signed subtotal was used without taking its magnitude

  • convention: "magnitude" — that feed keeps direction in a field no grouping here reaches, so no outflow was measured

  • months_with_data above months_in_window, or a measured unplaceable_count above transaction_count

  • one of unplaceable_count and excluded.internal_transfers null without the other: one cancelled count nulls both

  • a months_in_window that disagrees with the months window spans — the two state one fact, and a reader cannot tell which is the lie

  • signed elected from ZERO negative rows: whatever the convention was called, that window measured no outflow

  • convention_counts summing past transaction_count, or months_with_data disagreeing with the months per_month shows carrying an outflow — your own prose states both, so a contradiction between them is a sentence that refutes itself

  • a window whose bounds are not each the first of a month, or that fits inside one month: a month average divides by whole months

  • a per_month series that is not the window's own months, in order, averaging to amount — a dark month belongs in it as a zero, and a series that disagrees with the figure is not the working behind it

  • a currency outside ISO-4217 — the code is checked against the catalog, not its shape

OPTIONAL, and only as a pair:

  • baseline and change — the earlier window you compared against, its own average, and the signed percentage between them. Send both or neither: a percentage whose baseline the reader cannot name is exactly the unchecked number this tool refuses everywhere else. The card draws the CHIP alone and never the baseline, so sending the pair obliges you to NAME that comparison in prose: the baseline window and its own average. Compute the baseline the same way you computed the figure, over a window of the same length; the two may overlap, and when they do say so too. change is checked against amount and baseline.value and refused when it does not follow from them, so send the percentage you actually divided. Do not send a direction: down is GOOD for a burn, and the card's green is decided server-side from change rather than read off its sign.

When the token authorizes one workspace, call this directly — no other tool call is needed first. When it authorizes several, this read will not guess which one you mean: pass workspace_id on the call.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
amountYesAverage monthly outflow as a POSITIVE magnitude. A negative value is refused.
changeNoSigned percentage against `baseline.value`, drawn as the card's trend chip. Send it only alongside `baseline`, whose window and average your prose must name, and never derive the card's up/down sense from its sign — for a burn, down is good.
windowYesInclusive start and EXCLUSIVE end of the averaged window, YYYY-MM-DD.
baselineNoThe earlier window this figure is compared against, and its own average. Required for `change` to render, and never rendered itself: name it in prose, because a percentage whose baseline the reader cannot find anywhere is a number they cannot check.
currencyYesISO-4217 code the amount is denominated in. Checked against the catalog, not its shape.
excludedYesThe three exclusion groups kept apart: structural, reader-chosen, and defective.
per_monthNoThe series behind the average. A month with no outflow belongs in it as a zero.
conventionYesWhich sign the feed uses for an outflow. "magnitude" is refused: it measures no outflow.
workspace_idNoTarget workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several: this read reports one workspace's own figures and will not choose which.
conversation_idNoThe conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation.
months_in_windowYesThe divisor — every month in the window.
months_with_dataYesHow many of those months carried any outflow.
convention_countsYesThe row counts the convention was elected from, so a reader can check the election.
transaction_countYesRows in the window.
unplaceable_countYesRows with no leg on an owned account, neither inside nor outside the transfer rule: the sum's `excluded_no_owned_leg`. `null` when the sum could not count them, never 0.

  3. Added

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond the readOnly/destructive annotations, the description discloses server behavior in detail: 'The server derives no burn of its own,' 'the card draws nothing under the number,' 'All of it comes back to you in this tool's text result,' and a long list of refusal conditions. No contradiction with annotations; it substantially enriches what the agent knows.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with bold section headers (REQUIRED, REFUSED, OPTIONAL) and front-loaded purpose, but it is quite long and contains some repetition ('a figure whose method is not stated cannot be checked' appears in spirit multiple times). It could be tightened without losing substance.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with 15 parameters, nested objects, and extensive refusal rules, the description covers required fields, optional pairing, workspace handling, and output behavior. Since an output schema exists, the return format need not be detailed, and nothing essential for correct invocation appears missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds real meaning for many parameters (e.g., window is 'the months the average divides by, not the months that carried spend', unplaceable_count null-pairing rules, baseline/change pairing), but not every property receives extra semantic nuance, so not a 5.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb-resource pair ('Put a burn figure YOU computed onto the burn card') and immediately adds a defining scope: 'This tool measures nothing.' It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling render tools by emphasizing it only renders a caller-computed figure, not one the server derives.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly states when to call ('only after you have computed the burn yourself'), when not to call ('never to "get" a burn'), and even direct-call guidance ('call this directly — no other tool call is needed first'). The workspace authorization nuance is also covered with a concrete instruction.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
